Additional financial resources
Undergraduate students, if you need additional resources to help pay your student account, please follow the steps below.
1) Are you placing work earnings on your student account?
You can automatically place some or all of your campus work earnings onto your student account. Contact the payroll office to learn more about how to do this at payroll@uau.edu.
2) Have you taken all of your federal loans?
If you have already declined some of the federal loans originally offered on your financial plan, email the Financial Aid Office (financialaid@uau.edu) to have them added back onto your plan.
After the loans have been added, you'll receive a new financial plan and a notification to accept the awards. Log in to Portal and click the Piggy Bank (My Financial Aid) icon. Then click the menu in the top left corner of the screen and select "To Do." You'll then see the option to accept your awards. Be sure to click submit at the bottom of the window.
3) Are your parents willing to help?
Your parents can help directly by placing money on your account at uau.edu/pay. They can also take out a Parent Plus loan from the federal government to help pay for your education. Learn more and apply at studentaid.gov
4) Have you asked your local church or Seventh-day Adventist conference for a scholarship?
Many local churches and Adventist conferences offer scholarships for members. It never hurts to ask!
5) Have you considered other loan options?
A number of private lenders offer education loans that don't require repayment to begin until after you leave Union. You can explore a variety of lenders with our partner Elm Select. You may also want to talk with the Lincoln SDA Credit Union located right across the street from campus.
Once you have applied for a private loan, been approved, and decided to finalize the loan, the lender will send the information to the Union Financial Aid team so they can add it to your financial plan.
6) Don't forget ScholarshipUniverse!
Remember, Union offers ScholarshipUniverse to you free of charge. It's a comprehensive website that will help match you to the best options among thousands of scholarships offering millions of dollars for college. It does take some time, but a few hours a day could add to thousands in scholarships and grants. Think of it as a part-time job that pays really well.
7) All out of options?
If you've exhausted all of your grant and loan options, Union has a special fund provided by generous donors that may be able to help. You must apply by the deadline (October 15 for fall and March 5 for spring), and approval doesn't guarantee funding (which is subject to availability). Apply here (uGroups login required).
